ℹ️ The Backstory
Few aircraft lived up to their name quite like B-26B Marauder “Flak-Bait,” S/N 41-31773. Assigned to the 449th Bombardment Squadron, 322nd Bombardment Group, the PN-O coded Marauder flew from 1943 through the final weeks of the war in Europe, including three missions on D-Day. Smithsonian research credits Flak-Bait with 202 combat missions, during which it survived repeated attacks by flak and enemy fighters and accumulated more than 1,000 patched holes in its battle-scarred airframe. Today, the actual aircraft survives in the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum collection—a remarkable testament to the crews who flew it and the ground crews who kept it flying.

👉 Application Tips and Additional Information
✅ Spare practice masks included! Check out our Paint Mask Tutorials page for a step-by-step guide on how to use and apply our masks.
✅ We include transfer tape with your set! Transfer tape helps accurately transfer and position masks onto the model's surface, maintaining alignment and design integrity while protecting the mask adhesive. Look for two 3"x6" pieces of transfer tape included with your masks. Learn how to Apply Main Markings Using Transfer Tape
➡️ Some small stencil data and other tiny markings will need to be used from your kit’s decal sheet, as these details are too small to cut cleanly in either Tamiya tape or vinyl. Please refer to the product image for a clear breakdown of what’s included in this mask set.
👉 Choose Your Material
This paint mask set is available in your choice of easy-to-apply Oramask 810 flexible vinyl or genuine Tamiya tape.
What's better - vinyl or Tamiya tape? Both work great! Choose vinyl if you plan to use your masks right away and Tamiya tape if you're tackling your project later on. Check out our FAQ for more info!
